What is wrong
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, 'TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS.' THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION LABELS CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE RIM SIZE AND TIRE INFLATION RATING AS WELL AS AN INCORRECT RATING FOR THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) AND FRONT GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR).
What can happen
THIS MISPRINT COULD LEAD TO AN INCORRECT RIM BEING PLACED ON THE UNIT THAT WOULD NOT BE RATED FOR THE GAWR, IN ADDITION TO OVERLOADING THE UNIT AND OVER-INFLATING THE TIRES. DRIVING WITH OVER-INFLATED TIRES CAN CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE THAT COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A CORRECTED FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION LABEL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. IF AN OWNER WISHES, A DEALER CAN PLACE THE LABEL ON FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
